What a place! Went for the first time, and was totally surprised by how good it was. It's like 3 restaurants in one... a high-end steakhouse, a Brazillian all-you-can-eat style steakhouse, AND a Tapas place. How the owner has managed to pull off such a complete and fantastic menu so quickly, I have no idea... but the Chef here is seriously skilled. Everything was AMAZING... saving room for dessert was tough, but worth it. They even make their own strawberry butter! It was crack! It'll take a while for word to get out to the Tahoe crowd, but once they find out it's beyond worth the extra 5 minutes to get here from hwy 50, it'll get packed. The food is simply the best in the area, though prices are a little steep, but appropriate for the caliber of restaurant. Service was fantastic, and we'll be back, a lot. There's a new Destination restaurant in Hangtown/Diamond springs... I feel a little bad for the Independent, it's going to get blown out of the water, this is the place to go.
